The Long Desk Day That Needs Nothing Fussy From You

The Long Desk Day That Needs Nothing Fussy From You

Three plain pieces that carry a weekday: a collared shirt, a pair of trousers and a V neck knit. They mix in any order and fit on one wardrobe rail. This set is for anyone building a work week from a small closet on a careful budget.

  1. The shirt for a Monday meeting and a Saturday out

    The shirt is 95% polyester and 5% spandex, so it has a little give, and the listing calls it easy to iron. It has a spread collar, a curved hem and a slightly tapered waist. It comes in solid colors and is machine washable. Wear it tucked in or loose over the trousers.

  2. The trousers for a long shift and the walk home after

    These trousers are 100% polyester with a regular fit, a mid rise of 9.75 inches and a waistband that does not bind. Two front slant pockets and back welt pockets hold small things. Inseams run Short 30, Medium 32 and Long 34 inches. The fabric can feel different by color, so check the length.

  3. The V neck sweater for the first cool morning of fall

    The knit has a V neck with ribbed cuffs and a ribbed hem. It is a blend of 38% polyester, 30% PBT, 20% acrylic and 12% nylon, with stretch, thickness and softness all rated medium. Machine wash cold and dry flat. Colors may look a little different on screen than in daylight.
